Installscript Scan
Does anyone know if this is available with an eval version of Admin Studio 6? I just downloaded to test the functionality of Installscript Scan and it is not working. The Installscript MSI Identified Panel is never opening. I do know that the setup.exe's I am attempting to convert are Installscript MSI setups. Any ideas?

I talked to Installshield support and basically there is a "bug" with the beta version. There is a workaround if you purchase it however.

Well I am actually kinda suprised that they would pull that considering how they are trying to ram product down our throats at the client site I am currently at. I guess this does not help you evaluate their product's superior features.

From the Installshield boards:
You need to make sure you are using Single Snaphot or Install Monitoring. It won't work with Multiple.
Also, you do need a file called isrepackager.ini in the same location as the repackager executable. This has to have the PIDKEY in it like this:
[GENERAL]
PIDKEY=AAAAAA-1111-1111111111
So, if this is an eval, you probably don't have a PIDKEY, so you may be out of luck.

Yeah, thats what I found out today when I tried to use the eval to properly convert an Installscript to basic MSI. You need to have a product key to use it.
For future reference, there's also a bug if you are running it remotely on vmware.

I tried it once, but it asked me for a password, so I am assuming it will only work for the original creator of the setup.exe and not for an end user to repackage it.
Can anyone confirm this?

I really hope this is not the case, although it is never asking me for a password.

I had it work but I dunno how robust it really is. I strongly suggest calling up the sales rep assigned to you. The InstallShield sales force is rather agressive but they will usually put you straight in touch with their tech support.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
